Magic Wheelchair was started by a father of five to help kids in wheelchairs have the coolest costume on the block.
Magic Wheelchair is a nonprofit created by Oregon-based dad Ryan Weimer, who has spent years building costumes for his three children that use wheelchairs for mobility.

"Giving families and kids those experiences that we’ve been able to have year after year, it’s awesome. I love it," Weimer told BuzzFeed News. "My kids are seen as superstars and not looked at with sympathetic eyes or sadness."
